So to sum up geopolitical current events: About 4 years ago a new novel virus either escapes from a lab or naturally mutates from bats pooping on chickens sending the world into what can only be defined as chaos. Two years or so after that Russia invades Ukraine citing the growing menace of Neo Nazis. In response western nations impose economic sanctions and supply Ukraine with weapons and funding leading to the worst fighting in Europe since WWII. A year and half or so after that Islamic extremists think it will be a good idea to attack and massacre a bunch innocent young Israelis at a music festival. In response the Jews unleash an unprecedented response on a mostly civilian population pretty much caged up in an outdoor prison. During this time the Chinese all but anoint an emperor in Xi Ping Pong. He informs the POTUS that Taiwan will be his at some point and starts picking fights with the Philippines over the South China Sea which holds enormous oil and gas reserves. Mixed in this timeline we have out of control inflation, blown up pipelines, weaponizing the dollar and the SWIFT banking system, Houthis, BRICS trying to bounce the dollar, a nasty and somewhat suspect Presidential Election between probably the worst two candidates in our history, men turning into women and vice versa... I mean seriously, what else could possibly go wrong in the next 12-18 months? Are you hoping that the worst is over?

The Fake Russian Jews should have considered this possible eventuality when they kicked the local occupants out of their own homes. Maybe they're still angry about it? Just sayin. To beat a dead horse again. I think that those innocent concert goers were poison pawns that Israel fed to the Queen for a summary checkmate. A Palestinian squirrel couldn't have snuck in to fortress Israel.

A Palestinian squirrel couldn't have snuck in to fortress Israel. I didn't know personally anyone at that music festival, but likely I've known people who did know people there. It's a big global community, I have records of some of the music artists who were there going back 30 years and contacted some of the labels just trying to get some news that these guys were OK as it was clear from the playlist, they were there at the time of the attack. The organisers are Brazilian and still spend time arranging events to help those affected by the attacks, which is pretty altruistic as its hard to see how they'd really make any money out of it. Accounts from the attack are simply horrific, if you can imagine it, it was worse. If any of you have daughters who when young went to music festivals, I really don't need say more. It's been just more then 6 months. Whatever the machinations that wheeled around this, the last minute venue change is odd, but not completely unusual in this music scene being kinda underground and often borderline legal. Flexibility is often an understood necessity when the show must go on.

Let a few in, trap them (they didn't bother to do that because they are evil devils). Invade Gaza with a new mandate fortified with righteous indignation.

bigserge.substack.com/p/russo-ukrainian-war-the-delugeSo, drones clearly offer a lethal and important battlefield expedient, but they are neither a genuine replacement for artillery nor an arm of clear advantage for Ukraine. The result was a Ukrainian defense in Avdiivka that was substantially outgunned. The problem was compounded by the rapid proliferation of Russian air dropped glide bombs, alongside the degradation of Ukraine’s air defense. This allowed the Russian air force to operate around Avdiivka with something approaching impunity, dropping hundreds of glide bombs with the power to - unlike artillery shells, let alone tiny FPV warheads - level the fortified concrete blocks that normally make Soviet vintage cities so durable in urban fighting.

Suddenly, the idea of America conducting an asymmetric weakening of Russia seems increasingly shaky, since it is now both highly doubtful whether Ukraine can retake meaningful territories and apparent that the Russian military is on track to emerge from the conflict both larger and significantly battle hardened from its experiences. Indeed, it now appears that the most important results of Washington’s Ukraine policy have been to reactivate Russian military production and radicalize the Russian populace. bigserge.substack.com/p/the-age-of-zugzwang

The plan of battle will be to simply grind Russia down over years like the Muhajadine did to Russia in their occupation of Afghanistan. It happened to us as well in Vietnam and more recently in Iraq and Afghanistan. Winning a war is much easier than occupying a hostile population. Economic sanctions will hurt more and more over time and the Russian people will tire from endless pain and death.
My guess is the west will keep this going on some level until Putin taps out...

Understand what you are saying. The US public will tire much more rapidly than the Russian public. Russia deaths in WW2 were around 26,000,000+. In family time, that isn't that long ago. The economic sanctions are hurting the US more than they are hurting Russia. Another point is, the population that Russia currently has freed is not hostile to them. That is a point that is sorely missed in US reporting.

That is why France is about to send troops most likely in the form of "advisors". In addition Reuters is reporting: "All of India's refiners are now refusing to take Russian crude carried on PJSC Sovcomflot tankers due to U.S. sanctions". So much for the entire BRICS threat... A lack of infrastructure for gas and markets for crude will ultimately take their toll on the Russian economy. China is in the midst of an economic downturn and that will trickle down to Russia as well. www.reuters.com/world/india/india-stops-taking-russian-oil-delivered-sovcomflot-tankers-bloomberg-news-2024-03-22/#:~:text=Reuters%20reported%20earlier%20this%20week,sources%20familiar%20with%20the%20matter.

India didn't stop buying Russian crude. India is not buying Sovcomflot tanker crude. This will not be the end of sanctions, there will likely be more... As for the Europeans, they are preparing to stop Putin without the US if need be which is just great by me. "Earlier this year, Mikael Buden, the Commander-in-Chief of the Swedish Armed Forces, urged citizens to prepare for conflict." "German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius warned of the need to brace for a potential attack by Vladimir Putin on a NATO member state." "Lieutenant General Gheorghiță Vlad, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Romania, forewarned of an inevitable military escalation in Moldova should the Russian army triumph in Ukraine." "The Chief of the General Staff of the United Kingdom, General Patrick Sanders, urged for a “national mobilization” in response to the Russian threat." theins.ru/en/politics/270168

Time to cut ties with the Israeli regime. They are not our "allies in the region". They are more akin to a skanky stripper girlfriend that keeps dragging you into bar fights...
